Yeah. Both the dark haired kid and the blonde curly haired dude look like they'll be offering themselves as rough trade in a year or two, when daddy kicks them out after catching them sucking off half the football team behind the tool shed. .

I found this to be an interesting watch.

Talk about brainwashed into ignorance.... wow.

If they want to play the "abomination" game, they have to stick with ALL the abominations. I'll start giving them points for integrity when I see them stoning teenagers who yell at their parents.

 

[Lefty]

Isn't gluttony an abomination too?^

I don't think it's listed that way. The Roman Catholics have it on one of their lists, but not the Bible.

If only we lived in a world where more people were cafeteria Christians and cherry-picked the Bible as much as you do.

LOL

Your ignorance is astounding, too. What I do is refuse to cherry-pick.

See, for starters, they're ignoring the verses that tell them that the verses they're cherry-picking don't even apply any more -- they're now historical lessons, and nothing more. Second, they're ignoring the verses that tell them that if they're going to adhere to one Old Testament rule, they have to adhere to all of them. And one of those verses says that teens arguing with their parents is an abomination, and those teens are supposed to be dragged out and stoned to death.

When you cherry-pick like they do, you look like an idiot when confronted by people who don't -- kinda like this:

I was unaware that there were specific verses relating to how to cherry pick the bible or that it wasn't meant to be taken literally. Care to share those? I don't cherry pick the bible. I reject the whole thing. Pointing out the incredibly poor morals that can be found in the bible such as the stoning of unruly children or instructions on how to treat slaves is to demonstrate that all Christians today are hypocrites and cherry pick the Bible. It's the word of God when you want it to be but it's not when it involves barbaric practices that you disagree with. Right....

When the Bible tells us something about itself, following that is not "cherry-picking".

Star with Acts 10: God gives Peter a vision that all food is now clean; nothing is unclean any long. The vision is really about people, which says that there are no longer any distinctions; everyone's the same. There goes a whole batch of Old Testament rules.

Then turn to Galatians 3 and Romans 2: Paul makes clear that circumcision isn't required any longer. That rips out the very base ritual of the Old Testament -- gone.

And drop in on Acts 15, where all the rest of the Old Testament rules are thrown out, with the only requirements left being don't eat food offered to idols (which is later narrowed to if you know it was), or animals killed by strangling; don't kill people, and don't be sexually promiscuous.

So nothing about the seventh day, or mixing types of cloth, or eating shellfish, or stoning your children, applies. It's over with, done, and of historical interest to see how God spoke to an older culture -- something Paul explains in Corinthians, where he says they were "written for our instruction".

So Christians who acknowledge what the Bible teaches aren't picking and choosing, they're setting all those old bits aside because the Bible tells them to. Whether or not we agree with them is irrelevant; God has said they're no longer binding, so any we follow is a mere human whim. So even if the OT verses so often quoted talk about homosexuality (doubtful), that doesn't matter. What matters is what Jesus said... which is nothing.

BTW, "taking the Bible literally" is stupid. It's an approach that is alien to any kind of literature; the way to approach any type of writing is from the point of view it means to give. Poetry is meant to be poetic, history is meant to be historical, royal chronicles are meant to be interpreted in broad terms, etc. One may as well insist that the periodic table is ridiculous, because air, water, fire, and earth accounty for everything.

 

[subsonic]

This is so outrageous. The whole matter is so stupid.. The fact the we live in the western world in 2012 and people still have this ancient view on the world and reducing gay people to second-grade citizens. One of the most important messages in the Bible in my eyes, is about benevolence, humanity and acceptance, something which these supposedly Christians show nothing of.

I found this to be an interesting watch.

Most of these people didn't even know why they were there.. And the woman with her kids - wow! I mean, the power that she is giving us gay people is outstanding. Fearing that we will change the world and ruin their children and what not. We're only people - it's ridiculous.
Can someone tell me if there's been some kind of similar event where the gay community and its supporters stand up and protest against these bigots? When that girl said: "I don't think everyone should have the right of beliefs" yeah.. I have no words, smh.

Did she lie?

Quite right. Believing in God is just a metaphor for having confidence in ourselves and in each other.

That whole part of the New Testament - the Acts and the Epistles - should actually be the relevant part here. Not because they say anything about sexuality there (they don't) but because they suggest what the proper course of action should be when faced with "What should we as Christians think/say/do when it comes to...?". It's clear they tried to clean things up a bit, but even so, there's a lot of discussion and argument going on. Rules are debated, questions are asked, and new rubrics replace the old. And think about it - why are these early Christians debating these issues anyway? Because they don't have the answers. Because even just a couple decades after Jesus skedaddled, they don't have a clear view what the message really was, and what they're supposed to do with it. AS Kul points out, even to these early Christians, "well, it's in the Bible" ended up not being sufficient. Yeah, several traditionalists back then insisted that the Law was the Law...and the book of Matthew (natch) even insists that "Not a jot or tittle shall pass of the Law", suggesting "nothing's changing". Guess what - they changed. Big time. Their adaption to cease being a "new form of Judaism" and instead appealing straight to the Gentiles is what allowed the religion to grow.

She apparently thinks gays are stronger than God. I'd love to butt in on something like that and ask, "Do you really think God is so weak? What God are you following? The God of the Bible is strong and can protect His people, so, really -- what God do you follow? if He's so weak, why should any of the rest of us pay attention?"

Oops Mr Neo my friend,
I didn't mean to do any shading, I was being (or trying) to be as oblique as
anybody's version of their good book. Looks like my sarcastic intent was a
bite without teeth.

Being predominantly a White Breaded Tuna Thrower, I did not realise that was shade
I was flinging in my previous post.
My apologies to whomsoever felt spattered by my first posit. It was intended as a sarcastic
swipe at the inbreds, the politicians and the other 'when its convenient' or Sunday Christians.


Did anyone lose sight or fail to consider that the bible (old up to new) might be a cookbook
for humanity? Back when it was originally written, they didn't have stoves or microwave ovens.

Hells fucking bells, truth is they didn't even have modern electricity. As man progressed(?)
the instruction book (Bibles, Quorans even Watchtowers) had to be re-written and or updated.

Unfortunately, the [STRIKE]messes we call humans[/STRIKE] masses did not all get the same
notifications in a timely manner.

At first glance,I thought chick fillets was a euphemism for the parts that made a girl a girl not closeted cock sucker wanna-be's and haters...my bad
